mph headind.

Neither of these are myths, it actually happened two
years ago at the Cambridge Gliding Club though not
as a result of using low tow. The tug was flying too
slow and the Puchacz on the back got gradually lower,
ending up pulling the tugs tail down as he applied
more and more power, eventually the tuggie released
and the rope wrapped itself around the puch wing (fortunately
not fouling any controls in this case). Both aircraft
subsequently landed safely with no damage.

Although I was present on the airfield I didn't witness
the incident, I did speak to the P1 shortly afterwards,
I'm sure someone from the Cambridge club could give
you more detail.
